El obsceno pajaro de la noche
2009 release ** Limited edition of 50 copies. "This Aspec(t) album is very noisy and rather edgy, Gabola's sax often sounds very saturated, there are no concessions to melody even by mistake, SEC_ on the synth and electronics moves in a very fragmented, almost rhythmic way, no soft keyboard-like carpet as one would expect and finally Agenziano plays the guitar less and less as we have always understood it, to give it back to us so filtered that sometimes it is even difficult to understand who do…
3048
A dark, choking, psychotropic immersion into abstract isolationist electronics, floating among rumbles, drones, bleeps, glitches...like a trip into the deepest corners of an obscure unknown galaxy, lost forever and glad of it! Everything is made with exclusive use of vintage equipment, no computers, no midi, no emulators…nothing can beat the sound of an unleashed vintage analogue synthesizer

Off Light
His first solo album, Off Light finds Scott Goodwin (known for his work as part of trio Bonus), exploring the microtones associated with overlapping sine wave oscillations. 'Off Light' and its accompanying piece 'Arc' both focus on the very subtle interplay and morphing interactions of these fundamental waveforms, taking on a level of meditative discipline that's sure to require a good deal of patience and concentration both on the part of Goodwin and the listener. Minimal as it may be there's u…
Dialogue Ordinaire Avec La Machine
Few copies back in stock, long out of print. After the publication of Danses organiques, Elica is pleased to present two previously unreleased compositions by Luc Ferrari from the early 80's: the stereo magnetic tape piece Dialogue ordinaire avec la machine coupled with Sexolidad, a composition for fifteen instruments. Both pieces share with the Danses a deep sense of sexual curiosity, a penetrating matter for the composer's musical explorations. This album is yet another fine testament to the F…

InharmoniCity
The Italian label Synesthesia Recordings is ‘to be intended as a repository of live improvised electroacoustic works. The main goal is to retrieve the late Renaissance praxis of ‘Ricercare’ intended as exploration of a technical device playing it, subverting it in different ways’. Translated to the world of audio, this is done by the U.S.O Project, a duo of Matteo Milani (from Milan actually) and Federico Placidi, both of whom I never heard. Both have a background with digital sound synthesis an…

Underneath the surface
Since the very first notes, this music appears to be about memory, decay and subversion. It is a deep investigation on the ability of sounds to freely attract or reject each other, in accordance with their own nature and disposition, and still maintain their meaning. Combining dense, multilayered sheets of synthetic sounds, treated bass, electronic percussion, the six tracks reveal their non-architectural principle as the music develops through warm textural details, reverberations, underlying m…
First Day Last Day
Conceived in the same direction of the previous CD titled Colori, this new work found its bases in the revaluation of the events the started the Creation, when an intelligent and complex act of sublime love started our physical universe off, transposing them in form of 8 electronic compositions elaborated in a 2 year work. A darker atmosphere marks the background sounds giving to the whole program a more obscure and less 'easy' impression while the more melodic traces fluctuate without direction…

Dishoek
2005 release ** "Just before we started to miss Guido Möbius he surprised us with “Dishoek”, his second album, recorded for Hamburg’s Dekorder label. Again featuring a conglomeration of acoustic and electrical instruments (guitar, bass, violin, cornet drums, synthesizer, clarinet among other things.) and a variety of guests, so that one hardly dares to call it a solo album. Still everything is magically held together by one single person. Melodies and noises, styles and individual characteristic…
